as ever dave, your bike has to be viewed with sunglasses on !
I take it the engine has been repainted ? ...must admit this is the real issue with our older bikes. I tried steam cleaning mine...yes the gunge came off but the " alloy paint" is flaking from road dirt.
I keep saying I will strip mine down to clean it thoroughly ...but as soon as good weather comes, I am off out on it !
I do wonder how many hours you put in to getting a bike to that standard ( ie as new) ??
